ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,371, dated February 7, 1888.

Application fi!ed March 18, 1887.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HOWARD CAMPBELL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Atomizers and Injectors, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a compact atomizer capable of being carried in the pocket and one inexpensive to construct by having pocket entirelyinelosing vial molded in one piece with the bulb.

In carrying out my invention I use an apparatus such as is shown in the following drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation, with the pocket containing the vial shown partially in section, portions oftheair-bulb also being broken away, showing the interior construction. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of Fig.1 on line XX; and Fig. 3 shows details ot'the cap for the vial, the atomizingtube, and the connections between .the rial and the air-bulb.

Like letters of reference refer to corresponding parts in all the figures.

A is an oblong rubber air bellows or bulb, having at onesideapock etof rubber, B, molded in the same piece with it, adapted to receive a vial, O, for containing the liquid to be atomized. This air-bulb and pocket are made of such shape as to fit conveniently in an 0rdinary pocket, and at the same time to be readily held in one hand for use. On the forward side of the air-bulb A is a plate, a, of metal, having a perforation in its lower end through which air is admitted to the air-bulb. This perforation is in such position that when the apparatus is in use air may be admitted or shut off by the third or fourth finger of the hand, and thus dispenses with the ordinary valvein an atomizing apparatus.

Referring to Fig. 3, in which are shown details of the atomizing-tube cap for the liquid vial and connections for the same, D is the Serial No. 231,362. (No model.)

stopper, formed of metal or other. material, and having in its upper part an interior screwthread, (shown at d.) A partition crosses the center of the stopper, and to this partition, or formed with it, is fastened a tube, D, run ning down, when the stopper is in position, to a point near the bottom of the vial. Connected with the stopper at one side, at a point below the central partition, is a short tube, E, having a screwthread at its outer end. This tube, when the stopper is in position, comes into alignment with the corresponding tube, E, secured to and opening into the air-bulb A at its upper side, and has a union joint or nut, e, for joining the tubes. The atomizing-tube F has connected to it a screw-threaded head, G, adapted to be screwed into the upper part of the stopper D.

As will be seen by referring to the cross-section shown in Fig. 2, the air bulb or bellows and pocket for the bottle are formed or molded in one piece of rubber or other elastic material. Vithout departing from the spirit of the invention, where it is desirable that the apparatus should be packed in small space, other pockets might be formed on the outer side of the bulb, in which the atoniizing-tubes could be placed when separated from the rest of the apparatus.
